Zooistan

The People's Republic of Zooistan is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 198 million Zooistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Zooistanian economy, worth 5.06 trillion floras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 25,562 floras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleeping on the job is recommended, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and a government program is underway to revitalize Zooistan's beaches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zooistan's national animal is the commie crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zooistan is ranked 282,602nd in the world and 1,206th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
